The music department of the public schools of the District in co-operation with the Community Center Depart- | ment gave a concert Saturday evening at Central High School to show the sesults of several years of teaching ehildren music by the so-called “Melody | Way.” These results can hardly be | Judged by the ordinary esthetic stand- ards. ‘The system of teaching children to play imunison is not a new one, hav- ing been used by no less a person than Clara Schumann’s father, the famous Wiecks, and it was not original with him, but was invented by a Frenchman. His idea was that by playing together, children could overcome many difficul- ties, which they could not conquer alone. This is doubless true, but there are disadvantages to offset this. The rincipal one is that instead of increas- &( the melodic sense, it tends to de- stroy it. The children get a sense of time instead of rhythm: in their ef- fort to keep together they unconscious- 1y make every beat a primary accent which is fatal to the melodic line. Un- able to hear themselves as individuals they develope no feéling for tone qual- ity and monotony is the result. For some reason the other instru- ments were more successful than the piano. There was more spontaneity in their playing. The trombones were par- ticularly god, partly because the tone of the trombone as solo instrument is much sweeter in quality than the other wind instruments. The Intergrade Festival Chorus also showed musical feeling and good attack in their songs. As a means of making a large num- ‘ber of children participate in creating music rather than being passive listen- ers, this movement cannot be too high- 1y commended. Just now when so much of the unused energy of youth goes into fast living and the enjoyment of art is largely vicarous, the !xycholollul effect of a group is extremel ;‘dr;n‘;ngle.

The experi- ment station of the Bureau of Mines has been giving this matter some at- tention. As a result crucible for hold- ing molten mixtures of iron sulphates and oxides for 45 minutes at a tempera- ture of 1,500 degrees centigrade without appreciable seepage have recently been developed.
